Learning Rust and Lemmy

391 readers

Welcome

A collaborative space for people to work together on learning Rust, learning about the Lemmy code base, discussing whatever confusions or difficulties we're having in these endeavours, and solving problems, including, hopefully, some contributions back to the Lemmy code base.

Rules TL;DR: Be nice, constructive, and focus on learning and working together on understanding Rust and Lemmy.

Running Projects

Policies and Purposes

  1. This is a place to learn and work together.
  2. Questions and curiosity is welcome and encouraged.
  3. This isn't a technical support community. Those with technical knowledge and experienced aren't obliged to help, though such is very welcome. This is closer to a library of study groups than stackoverflow. Though, forming a repository of useful information would be a good side effect.
  4. This isn't an issue tracker for Lemmy (or Rust) or a place for suggestions. Instead, it's where the nature of an issue, what possible solutions might exist and how they could be or were implemented can be discussed, or, where the means by which a particular suggestion could be implemented is discussed.

Rules

  1. Lemmy.ml rule 2 applies strongly: "Be respectful, even when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome" (see Dessalines's post). This is a constructive space.
  2. Don't demean, intimidate or do anything that isn't constructive and encouraging to anyone trying to learn or understand. People should feel free to ask questions, be curious, and fill their gaps knowledge and understanding.
  3. Posts and comments should be (more or less) within scope (on which see Policies and Purposes above).
  4. See the Lemmy Code of Conduct
  5. Where applicable, rules should be interpreted in light of the Policies and Purposes.

The fediverse is working. I am now following (using Mastodon) a "Learning Rust" community on Lemmy [1], who I found through them commenting on my peertube video [2] using Lemmy. (mastodon.social)

so I'm here to learn what rust can do

Me too. So far for Lemmy, I've done a 'trending communities' bot, an ActivityPub-based AutoMod, and a virtual Lemmy Community that posts stuff from Mastodon. An embarrassingly huge proportion of it is written in Bash - so I'm only just now learning that all variables aren't supposed to be global.

My personal thinking was that while there'll naturally be large variation in what people will get out of this community and what, if anything, they'll be able to contribute back to the lemmy project ... having the lemmy code base, the fediverse and ActivityPub as projects with generally shared interest and awareness as well as the actual core devs more or less around ... all made sense as a sort of umbrella motivation for applying rust. That the lemmy core devs seem to be rust fans too means that they'd appreciate this place to some extent too.

Of course there's no need for anyone to feel compelled to contribute back to lemmy. I'd personally be happy if I or someone else from here got to that point. But the overriding goal, IMO, is to learn together for sure.
